Story behind the song
An homage to the great pioneers — the chord progression nods to Studio One classics from the 70s, but the production deliberately keeps the low end modern. We wanted listeners to feel the lineage without it sounding retro.
Press
"On "Blood Money", the band balances roots tradition with a modern production sensibility that never sacrifices grit for polish.

[Verse] I remember the days when the radio played Nothing but the sweetest sounds, the songs they made Now the youths them ask me what the music meant I tell them every chord was time well spent [Chorus] The roots are deep, the roots are strong We carry them in every song The roots are deep, the roots are true They passing through me, passing through you [Bridge] From Trench Town to Tottenham, the message is the same Love, equality, and rising above the pain [Chorus]
